That is great news, as long as it is out there still and not in a scrap bin all is ok Paul

Yep, I believe they are called demountable They are called spiders out here in Australia Paul

Really, you lot need to just leave this one alone This is how the mess started in the first place, people trying to tell the forum how to run and what moderators should and shouldn't do As I warned those very members you speak of all those months ago that it wasn't going to be any good for them or the forum You lot need to really just leave it alone, no one owes you a answer or a explanation Paul

I came across something a fair bit worse than that within the last 6 months A fella clipped a B double, (B train) between the fuel tanks and the drive axles in his car Tore the drive axles out and flung the tail shafts down the road The drive and A trailer Alcoa rims were folded in half, the B trailer rims were fine Car was a mess, I mean it was totalled, the fella in side fell asleep on cruise control and just drifted into the B double He was wide awake and in a very bad way when I found him Truck driver was a bit shaken as well My point to this is, we probably shouldn't pass judgement on things we dont really know about I have come across a few really bad head on collisions in recent years due to cruise control, rattles me every time Paul

Dunno if it is better than Dynamat or not I doubt it but as I said I dunno, Dynamat with the Dynaliner seems to work pretty good to me, I guess it all depends on ones expectations and whether they are realistic or not Loudest noise by a long way is gearbox noise once I rev over 1950 revs in overdrive but it is still bearable, but I have pretty bad industrial deafness and my domestic deafness isnt much better lol What ever works I guess is what you use I filled the inside of the doors with spray on tar and Dynamat and it seems to work fine And yes all F and R model doors come apart the same as a B model Paul

Looks good to me, as long as you all are happy with it thats all that matters Paul

No but it works and I guess thats all that really matters Paul

If you think its only one axle I would check the air pressure on a the other axles and the suspect one to check they are all the same I would use three gauges at once to check everything is balanced Also I would check the slack adjusters are all pinned in the sam e hole And that the S cams are all spinning freely, they should super smooth and be able to turn them by hand with the shoes and springs putting pressure on And they should roll back smooth and gentle with just the shoe sprongs pulling them back Paul

Whats the proble, gotta know were to help if we can Paul

Looks different without any bling on the front Enjoy Paul

I was led to believe that shutters were there for after climbing a big hill and you ran down the other side the the water didnt cool to quickly and crack a head I'm guessing this is even more important when working were it's very cold Is it even a concern on a hobbie truck ? Probably not Paul

If you have a half decent piece of paint from the interior left you could just get it colour matched No one (including the so call experts) will know if it isnt spot on as it cant ever be put exactly bedside another cab interior Paul

Flash as a rat with a gold tooth that one is

When your talking cold, what sort of temp are you talking Cold in Australia is different than other places around the world As to the oil I cant advise if it's ok or not I would check the air pressure and make sure the regulators are working correctly I would as check the filter and the exhaust to make sure it is clear Paul

Success, Looks good and hopefully will serve the purpose just fine Paul

Watching the new Bond movies was one of the things I really looked forward to It appears I couldn't even be left to enjoy that, the political correct fun police have taken that away as well Paul

Well 2020 is turning out to be pretty crap indeed Apparently the new James Bond is going to be the actress Lashana Lynch https://www.insider.com/lashana-lynch-coping-backlash-first-black-female-007-james-bond-2020-11 The world has gone mad Paul

I would of thought thats really good buying Paul

Yes I gotta confess Im very jealous lol Looks fantastic Paul

I dont know and it isnt any of our business, I was just checking to see if he was ok as he was pretty common feature on here for as long as I have been part of the forum I hope he makes it back here all ok when he gets a chance Paul

apparently they were tried and found to fill with dirt etc to easily in Australia so chucked another air cleaner on Paul

Yes you do, hammer and chisel Paul

Hang on a minute everyone is getting a tad excited here I'm pretty sure your clutch is slighty different than the ones in double clutching picture No need to undo the bolts, just put pressure on the head of the bolt and you will find the bolt is spring loaded and will push in While holding it in turn it (at a guess anti clock wise) and once in position release Sort of rock it left and right to make sure it is locked in again Im pretty sure there is no need to remove any bolts on this clutch Good luck Paul

Welcome Matt Plenty of classic Macks still working in this wide brown land and I think will be for decades to come Paul
